It took awhile to run it down LOL

Is JANSTAR the only one who hasn't
received her SS gift?
With all the offers on board we could
send her a monstrous merry christmas
package!

Any idea yet how many did not receive their presents?

I will be here after all, as DH didn't feel like going to the concert.

I too have many commitments starting tonight and going through Christmas, but will do what I can to wait for the one or more who may not have received their pkg. If it were me that had not received my pkg., I would still want everyone to open theirs so I could share in the fun and excitement.

Before we jump to conclusions as to why the pkg. didn't show, and god forbid have hard feelings over something that may not be the senders fault, I believe everyone needs to make the right decision for their circumstances as to whether they open today or not. Just my 2 cents worth.

:?

Is it almost time? (I have to post to get the date stamp so I can check the time where you guys are.)

Thank you Shadow, for the hour countdown, I can figure out what time it will be here.

I'll be able to make the chat I think! *does a little happy dance*

An hour and a half still, Blue!

I'm so excited, I'll be able to make it!

I've been watching, but not really getting too enthusiastic, because I'd worked out that the opening time was when we're still in bed asleep (I did pass high school maths, honest! :? ).

I feel awful for the one person who can't participate cause her package hasn't arrived. But at the same time I'm so excited because I'll be there.

Well, I hope she shows anyway, half the fun is seeing the other person react to the gift you've sent, right?

And by 'seeing' I meant, uh, well, you know what I mean! LOL!

What time is it now where you are, Blue?

Very true! :-)

Now that my parcel is sitting on my desk I'm getting excited.

The recipient of mine will know as soon as she looks at the box where hers has come from, no hiding the customs form and international stamps! lol

It's 8:30am.... I'm just having a quick check of my emails (well, that's not happening now is it, I'm in here instead! LOL) and a coffee, then I'll be dropping my youngest at school and be back home. It's Monday morning here, my day of being home and doing accounts, so I can be on the computer at 10am no problem.

You know, my package moved over to my desk sometime in the night too! :mrgreen:

I don't know if I can wait. The little elves in my package sound really frantic to get out! LOL

Are we there yet? Are we there yet??

47 in chat... that's impressive! Man it moves fast, I'm spending all my time staring wide eyed at the screen! LOL

All the pwetty colours....

on my way!

Where do I go to chat about my secret santa

Yea....got to open my box finally. I got five beautiful fat quarters, Febreze scented candle, Shea butter moisturizing lotion, a Fons & Poter quilting book, Pretty cardinal paper piecing pattern to make pillow, 4 milk chocolate bars from health food store which smell scrumptious and a big bundle of Dove candies. It was all from Tigger5464. Loved it all Tigger, thanks so much. I can't post pics yet but thanks, thanks, thanks. Hope my Secret Pal likes my gift to her. Sandy

Thank you Shadow and helpers, I have really enjoyed this swap, my first Secret Santa (though I found waiting nearly 6 weeks rather hard, LOL). I will look forward to seeing you in the bath with all those fat quarters covering your modesty! LOL. That will make for some serious sewing in the future. I hope you like scrappy quilts!
